Read more about Gameavision at: Wikipedia Official Site: Adam de la Peña Code Monkeys is an American animated television program created by Adam de la Peña. Set in the early 1980s, it follows the adventures of fictional video game company GameaVision. The show first aired on July 11, 2007. Two seasons have aired on G4 and G4 Canada. In September 2008, the show began airing on the Teletoon Detour block on Teletoon in Canada. While G4 was vague on the future of the show after the end of the second season, it was announced in May 2009 that the show would not be renewed for a third season. The plot of Code Monkeys revolves around the fictitious video game company GameaVision (a play on companies like Activision) and its eccentric employees, mainly the slacker Dave and his high-strung friend Jerry. The entire series takes place in the Silicon Valley city of Sunnyvale, California during the 1980s. Code Monkeys is mostly grounded in toilet humor and stoner comedy, but some of the show's jokes stem from its numerous references to video games, past and present, but mostly those from the 8-bit era including River City Ransom, Castlevania, Mega Man, Contra, Ikari Warriors, Mike Tyson's Punch-Out!!, and Super Mario Bros. This also extends to cameos from well known video game developers, who appear in the show pitching their ideas to GameaVision for the games that would later make them famous, usually to be rejected, insulted, and sometimes injured or killed off.
Gameavision has not been a contender in any CBUB matches.
